[Hook - John Legend]
It's where you live, it's where you play
It's where you learn your favorite slang
Your world is ghettoIt's where I live; it's where I'm from
It's where you had to tote your gun
Your world is ghetto

About “Ghetto Rich”

On this remix to the 2007 original, Rich Boy, Lil Wayne, and Nas describe the struggles of living in the ghetto. While oftentimes living in the ‘hood is glorified, all three rappers offer a more candid take in this song about the fear, mistrust, and deception that define their daily lives.

Lil' Wayne in particular delivers one of his most heartfelt verses, describing the temptations of drug dealing, rising to fame, and dealing with the responsibility of being a role model.
